A family in my neighborhood on March 22, 2008 fell victim of a murder; their cat was killed by someone using a blunt object, possibly a baseball bat. The family found their beautiful long haired white cat with its head bludgeoned in on the sidewalk.
They posted flyers up on light posts around the neighborhood requesting any information on the would be killer.
Their cat was 13 years old; she was left behind when the previous owners of the house moved out; but she stayed around the house and adopted the new owners of the house. The new family took her in and they loved her immensely.
After I got home from talking to the family, I broke down and cried. Even though she was not my cat, the incident was extremely distressing to me. I'm posting this story in hopes of relieving some of my sorrow and pain. With the incident in China last week and now the hardship of having one of my own neighbor's cats killed, it was just too much for me to bare by myself.
I thank you for listening.
